Around Amish Country

Here are a few scenes from around the
farmhouse in Amish Country


A typical drive has these kinds of views


Pop Pop squirting the "milk"
at Aaron


Trying to "milk" the wooden cow

Feeding the pony

Typical means of travel

for the amish in the area

In the town of Intercourse, PA

Around the Farmhouse

Some pictures from around out great OLD

farmhouse. And I do mean very old!

A deer hanging out by the playset

Notice the huge goose egg on

his forehead from his tumble down

the stairs

Picking an apple from the apple tree in the yard

Aaon with his apple. He left

it on the rocks for a squirrel or deer.

Narvon, PA

3 days and 20 + hrs of driving later....

we finally made it to our farm house!

Rock City- Chatanooga TN

We also went to Rocky City on our
trip while in TN. We really liked it and were
very tired afterwards. There were alot of
stairs but really great views.


Trying on the Knome Cap

Pop Pop on the swing bridge...

I was too chicken to try so I took

the stone bridge

Going into Fat Man Squeeze

Suck it in Pop Pop

Chatanooga CHOO CHOO hotel

We didn't have reservations for a
hotel in Chatanooga which was a mistake
since there was a huge softball
thing going on and the only
hotel we could find was the
historic Chatanooga Choo Choo hotel.

Aaron was thrilled about all the trains.




The lobby of the hotel... used to be the train
station

Chatanooga Aquarium

We made it to Chatanooga TN with enough
time to also visit the aquarium. AND a man was
nice enough to give us his member tickets on the
way in so we got in for free. A savings of $100!


Pop Pop and Aaron check out the fish


Petting the salamandor


Looking that the HUGE sea turtle

Roadside Picnic

Thanks to the GPS I was able to find a great
park in Alabama for us to eat lunch. It had
a great playground for Aaron.


Unloading our chicken salad sandwhich and
fruit


Aaron wanted to race Momma
down the slide


and Daddy...

and Pop Pop too

Visiting Ashley in Jackson

We were able to eat breakfast with Abby's
best friend Ashley that she doesn't see very
often. Her little girl Isabella is too cute!

Time for our vacation to start!

Pop Pop and Aaron all ready
to head out!


Putting puzzles together on
the road


Hard at work--
PS- Puzzles were a VERY good idea!


First stop in Jackson, MS

Cars Bed

David let Aaron borrow his Cars bed for
vacation this week. He has been sleeping in it
ever since they brought it over. I keep telling
him that its David's bed and we will have to
give it back.

Tower Building

Aaron was so proud of his tower
that he built that he told me to
take his picture.
